Tuscaloosa - College Football, Mercedes, and a Former State Capital
Between 1826 and 1846, Tuscaloosa served as the capital of Alabama. The capitol building burned down, and the state government moved to Montgomery. What remained was a college town built around the University of Alabama, which had been founded in 1831. The university dominates the city to this day. Its campus covers more than 1,000 acres, enrollment exceeds 38,000 students, and on fall Saturdays the population swells by over 100,000 when the Crimson Tide plays football at Bryant-Denny Stadium.
Mercedes-Benz opened its first U.S. assembly plant near Tuscaloosa in 1997. The Vance facility, about 20 miles east of downtown, produces GLE, GLS, and EQS SUV models. The plant employs around 4,500 workers and represented a turning point for automotive manufacturing in the American South.
The Black Warrior River runs through town and feeds into the Tombigbee waterway system. Downtown Tuscaloosa went through a difficult period after a devastating EF4 tornado struck on April 27, 2011, killing 65 people across the city's path. Rebuilding reshaped entire neighborhoods. Government Plaza, the Riverwalk, and the restaurant district along University Boulevard anchor the modern downtown.
